Cloud Dashboard Overview
Kudu Cloud is a web-based fleet management dashboard for monitoring, maintaining, and securing all your Windows, macOS, and Linux machines from one place.
Kudu Cloud is a web-based dashboard that lets you manage your entire fleet of machines remotely. Instead of running Kudu on each computer individually, you can monitor, scan, clean, and secure every device from a single browser window.
What You Can Do
Monitor Everything
See real-time health scores, performance metrics, and security posture for every device in your fleet. Know instantly when something needs attention.
Learn more about health scores and alerts
Run Remote Commands
Trigger scans, cleaning, updates, registry fixes, and more — all from your browser. No need to be at the machine.

Automate Maintenance
Set up policies that run maintenance on a schedule, or respond automatically when conditions change — like cleaning a disk when it gets too full or applying updates when critical patches are available.
Track Compliance
Check your fleet against security frameworks like CIS Controls, NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and PCI DSS. See which devices pass, which fail, and what needs fixing.
Detect Threats
Kudu Cloud compiles threat intelligence from public feeds and distributes it to your devices. Agents monitor network connections in real time and report suspicious activity back to the dashboard.
Manage Software
See every application installed across your fleet, define approval policies, track licenses, and keep everything up to date.

How It Works
Kudu Cloud connects to the Kudu desktop agent running on each machine. The agent and dashboard communicate in real time:
- Agents send telemetry (performance metrics), health reports, and command results to the cloud
- The dashboard sends commands to agents — scan, clean, update, and more
- Everything is live — status changes, alerts, and results appear in your browser instantly
Devices connect using an API key that you generate in the dashboard. Each key belongs to a group, making it easy to organize devices by team, location, or purpose.
What's Next
Usage
Configure and run the Kudu Linux Agent as a systemd service. Set up API keys, manage scan schedules, and connect to Kudu Cloud for remote management.
Getting Started with Kudu Cloud
Create your Kudu Cloud account, set up device groups, generate API keys, and connect your first Windows, macOS, or Linux device.
